It sounds like you’re suggesting that there’s a tension between trust and trustworthiness. A trusting community will have an easier time coordinating action, but may make bad decisions due to a lack of critical thinking. By contrast, a critical community will have a hard time coordinating, but when it does succeed, its projects will tend to be more trustworthy.
If this is an accurate interpretation, I agree.
I also think that the problem of factions that I’m describing fits with this. Mistrust in other people’s basic intuitions causes the rise of intellectual factions, each of which has high in-ground trust and consequently low trustworthiness:
Different intuitions → mistrust → assuming contrary evidence is based on a flawed process → factions → uncritical in-group trust.
